A bit of remodeling

We're living in our new home in Decorah now, but we haven't moved our furniture and most of our worldly goods out of storage yet. We're doing a bit of remodeling and hope to let the sawdust settle a bit before we move everything in. Meanwhile, we're busy getting ready to do some painting, etc. Here are a couple of "before and after" shots to show what's going on:
Living Room BEFORE (with previous owners' furniture). You can't quite see the wall that begins to the left of the stairs up to the dining area.


AFTER: The new kitchen and dining area will be much more open to the living room. The stairs will also be wider.

Kitchen BEFORE with a wall separating it from the dining area.

Kitchen AFTER with no wall. The beam in the ceiling will go next. Openness is the theme.

Stay tuned for more updates on the new kitchen project. It will be at least another month before all is complete.
